Cousin Joan Elaine and Cousin Eddie, So sorry to hear about Aunt Helen. So many memories of our visits to Connecticut when I was a child. It was always such an adventure to spend time in the "country" at Great Grandma's...with all of the Aunts and Uncles and cousins. I always remember thinking how beautiful and sweet Aunt Helen was! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, Cousin Laurie
